maybe the fact that you didn't have Obama trying to defend these guys, and negotiate a deal to get them back to america, shows that he doesn't like
this crap.
Did you read the story jimmy? What do you mean "get them back to America"? They were tried in absentia, that means that the defendants were not
present for the trial.
UPDATE:
One of the 23 Americans convicted today by an Italian court says the United States "broke the law" in the CIA kidnapping of a Muslim cleric Abu Omar
in Milan in 2003.
A confession from one of the convicted CIA agents. Not something you see every day, that much is clear.
"And we are paying for the mistakes right now, whoever authorized and approved this," said former CIA officer Sabrina deSousa in an interview to be
broadcast tonight on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson.
Now, I believe this admission of guilt is a sort of "sour grapes" result, but still significant in my opinion.
It's an interesting follow up to the OP, worth a read.
Follow up story
I don't expect this story to get much attention in the MSN I'm sure we will hear from the former CIA station
chief's lawyer about how this is all a huge misunderstanding or how the Italians are being good allies in the fight against terrorism.
